Nothing Special
Back in 84, Kingswood was way outside of Toronto - you had to pass through farmland to get there. Now the sprawl has consumed it and the town of Maple is nothing more than a suburb (with a large amusement park). Bands of the Dead's caliber don't play there anymore.
Anyways, about the show, it's really not a great performance. Nobody in the band shines in particular and there's a clear lack of oomph. The only part I recommend is the encore with the Band; The New Orleans is a lot of fun and I wish they would have brought it into the regular repertoire.

The Dead in Wonderland. . .
First heard this one over FM radio. The broadcast also included an interview with JG -- he talked about "the hundredth monkey" -- and some archive tunes between sets: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" was the theme. an acoustic (the only?) New speedway boogie, a beautiful Peggy-o, Satisfction was something blue, can't quite recall whst other tune?....

Good but a tad overrated
I think if this show was not in Canada (rare) and did not have the unique encore it would be relegated to the middle of the '84 pack. This recording has a distant "big shed" sound like Alpine or Poplar Creek. I think 4/1 takes first prize in '84.
